Ah, of course. Attached is the output of `journalctl --boot=-1` after
booting, getting locked up, and then rebooting a good kernel.

Slightly different version of 4.15-rc5; this one has both patches
applied, yours and Linus' for kexec, but the latter shouldn't make a
difference.

You'll see another trace in there that's been bugging me, about W=X
checking. I'm not qualified to judge how related they are, but during
these past few days I've compiled and tested many kernels, and many of
them have exhibited the W+X thing but *not* the lockups.

I hope to trace that one back to the original commit with another
bisect one of these days, but they do seem to be different issues.
